🍴Instructions
Step One: make the batter
Put the oven on 375° degrees. Put the rack in the middle of the oven. Spray the loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Make the batter. To make the cake, mix the oil, sugar, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir until it looks like one color. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Pour some milk in too. Stir until everything is combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps. Add chocolate chips to the bowl and stir again. Pour the cake batter into a loaf pan.
Step Two: bake
Set the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 55-70 minutes. To see if it is done, stick a toothpick in the middle of the loaf. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs, then it is done. If the toothpick comes out clean, then it is overcooked. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for five minutes before taking it out to cool on a rack. Let it cool completely before making the glaze.
Step three: make the icing
Get a bowl and mix all the glaze ingredients together (starting with the lesser amount of water). Keep whisking until it looks smooth. The glaze will be very thick and barely pourable.
Step Four
Pour it onto the top of the loaf and allow it to coat the cake. It will set in about 15 minutes, and then you can slice and serve.
🥫 Storage instructions
If you have. any leftovers, wrap them in aluminum foil and keep them on the counter for a day or two.
For longer storage, slice, wrap individually, and freeze.
An unglazed whole loaf will also freeze very well.
🔍 FAQs
It sure will. 😊
Yes, you can double the recipe and bake it in two loaf pans. Freeze one for late! (It will freeze better without the glaze.)
👩🏻🍳 Expert tips
- Don’t overmix the batter. Just mix until all ingredients are combined, and there may still be a few lumps.
- Top with coarse sugar before baking if you don’t want to make the glaze.
- If you don’t have milk on-hand, use 1/4 cup yogurt or sour cream in its place.
- For best results, make sure your milk and eggs are room temperature. Cold ingredients don’t mix as well.
